defmodule FNV do @moduledoc """ Fowler–Noll–Vo hash functions collection. Please refer to the module of the variant you want to use for more details: - `FNV.FNV1` - `FNV.FNV1a` ## Difference between both variants The only difference between the FNV-1a hash and the FNV-1 hash is the order of the xor and multiply. The FNV-1a hash uses the same FNV_prime and offset_basis as the FNV-1 hash of the same n-bit size. Source: It is recommended to prefer `FNV-1a`, as people state that this variant produces slightly better results than `FNV-1`. ## Further reading - - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fowler–Noll–Vo_hash_function][1] [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fowler%E2%80%93Noll%E2%80%93Vo_hash_function """ end
